Event Description
|
The customer reported that the staff in icu/ccu tried on three occasions to swap the helium cylinder on their cs300 intra-aortic balloon pump (iabp) while it was in use on a patient.On all three of these occasions full unwrapped cylinders were attempted to mount on the iabp.On all three occasions it was noted that these new previously unwrapped cylinders were empty.On examination of these cylinders by a getinge representative, it was noticed that all three cylinders were completely empty of helium to the extent that there was no pressure at all in any of these cylinders.The staff involved in this complaint were all experienced nurses who have experience with the cs300 and have been trained on its use.Staff was required to source a full helium cylinder from an adjacent hospital.The three empty helium cylinders have been quarantined by staff and handed to the getinge representative for investigation.This event occurred while the iabp was in use on a patient.No adverse event has been reported.
